Happy Day-After Thanksgiving or as the retailers like to call it – Happy Black Friday! Hope you and your family had a wonderful holiday and if you are one of those Black Friday shoppers, I do hope your long waits in line were worth it!

Welcome to the 7th Annual Black Book Friday Bonanza. I’m thrilled to be a part of this blog hop because it falls perfectly before the new release of my new novel – Let Me Love You.

Twenty-three-year-old Ren Haynes returns home after graduating college with two goals–start his engineering career and claim the heart of his parents’ thirty-one-year-old divorced neighbor, Stacey Williams.

Stacey is nursing her broken heart and shattered ego. Not only did her ex-husband have an affair, he got the woman pregnant. Picking up the pieces of her life isn’t easy, so when Ren taps into her need to feel desired again, she finds herself in a position she never imagined.

Can Ren help to rebuild her confidence and convince her that age is just a number?

This story is near and dear to me and a long time coming. Back in 2015, I started writing the story of Ren and Stacey. At the time, it was called Love Thy Neighbor. I submitted the first 5,000 words of it to the Pages From the Heart writing contest just for the heck of it. And it won! 🙂

But commitments to other projects and life got in the way of me completing it. It sat in my WIP folder begging to be told. I worked on it periodically in the early part of 2017 with a promise that I’d publish it before year-end. After attending the RWA National Conference in Orlando in July, I was revived and inspired by so many aspiring and well-known authors that the rest of the story just starting pouring out of me. And as the story unfolded, I realized so did a new title for the story. If you pre-order it and read it on December 18th, you’ll understand why. Pre-order it on Amazon here.

As part of this blog hop, I’m giving away a $15 Amazon gift card. All you have to do is subscribe to my newsletter. Plus, you can earn extra points in the giveaway by tweeting about my new release or following me on Facebook. Good luck and happy blog hopping.

Let Me Love You is a long time coming. A story that won the Pages From The Heart Writing contest in 2015 – it sat on my desk while other projects were pressing with deadlines and life threw curves to prevent me from completing it. I dedicated 2017 to its completion because I love the characters and the story. Finally, it’s here.

We often read stories about older men and younger women – a trope we’ve accepted in romance and in life. But we don’t often get that same intrigue or acceptance when the ages are reversed. I am four years older than my husband. Not a ridiculous age gap, but one that still surprises people. Apparently, somewhere it was written that men should be older than their women. For those of you that know me, I’m not one that has ever really followed the norm. 🙂 Once we get beyond a certain point, age really is just a number and love can come in all sorts of shapes, sizes and age gaps. I hope that you enjoy Let Me Love You and the story between Ren and Stacey. It’s fun. It’s sexy. It’s real.
